The artificial urinary sphincter may be considered one of the methods of choice for the treatment of neurogenic urinary incontinence. In paediatric practice, however, it should not be proposed gratuitously for patients with sphincteric deficits. Obtaining continence is simple if the indications and the technique of implantation are given their due ...

[Artificial urinary sphincter].
Bulletin de l'Academie nationale de medecine, 1995The artificial urinary sphincter is a totally implantable hydraulic prosthesis designed to restore continence without inducing dysuria. It is composed of 3 silicone elastomer elements: a periurethral or pericervical cuff, a pressure regulating reservoir balloon inserted in the retropubic space, and a pump situated in the scrotum or labia majora.

The Artificial Urinary Sphincter
2016The artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is the gold-standard treatment for male stress urinary incontinence. This chapter covers the history of AUS development and the technical modifications that have resulted in the most commonly used device worldwide, the AMS 800.

Magnetically Controlled Endourethral Artificial Urinary Sphincter
Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 2016Urinary incontinence is a largely spread disfunction that affects more than 300 million people worldwide. At present, no technological solutions are able to restore continence in a minimally invasive and effective way. In this article the authors report the design, fabrication, and testing of a novel artificial endourethral urinary sphincter able to ...

The Artificial Urinary Sphincter
2014Since the first implantation of the artificial urinary sphincter in 1973, thousands of men, women, and children have regained urinary continence, thanks to Dr. Brantley Scott. With long-term data now available, the AUS has become widely used with satisfactory outcomes. Multiple large series have confirmed the AUS to be a durable treatment for sphincter

Management of Artificial Urinary Sphincter Dysfunction
European Urology, 2004The long-term outcome of artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is unpredictable because of, among others, the risk of breakdown of one of its components. Our objective was to define a strategy for an accurate diagnosis and an appropriate management of these problems.From 1985 to 2000, 298 AUS (AMS 800) have been implanted in 288 patients aged 53 +/- 21 ...

Gastric muscularis as a urinary sphincter
Urology, 1994To test the ability of gastric muscularis to act as a urinary sphincter in a rat model system.Fourteen Long-Evans rats had an ileal conduit constructed joining the bladder to the ventral skin, creating urinary incontinence. A segment of gastric muscle maintained on its vascular pedicle was encircled around the conduit. The first 7 animals (group A) had

Management of the spastic urinary sphincter
Urology, 1993Alpha blockade is a well-established form of therapy for bladder outlet obstruction. We introduce a new drug to the regimen that appears to facilitate relaxation of both the bladder outlet and external sphincter mechanism in patients with a spastic urinary sphincter.

Surgical results with artificial urinary sphincter
Urology, 1982From June, 1974, until January, 1977, eleven AMS 721 genitourinary sphincters were installed in 9 men and 2 females. Long term success was achieved in 2 men. Failures were encountered in 9 patients (82 per cent) with urethral erosions (3 patients), infection (1 patient), and mechanical failure (5 patients) accounting for the complications necessitating

Artificial Urinary Sphincter Implantation
2007Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation is most often performed to treat urinary incontinence following radical or subtotal prostatectomy. In these cases, the cuff of the AUS is placed around the bulbous urethra. This device can also be implanted to treat urinary incontinence associated with myelodysplasia in men, women, or children or to treat
